I hung all the branches upside down in the closet. Thanks to the help of an air conditioner I keep the temperature at 23C and the humidity at 50%. When after a bending the branches will break (prematurely bend) then the drying will be complete and the tanning phase will begin. Initially I had problems with Ca and Mg deficiency, in fact the plant has grown less than the other, but I am still satisfied with the result. I usually don't weight buds when they are wet because it's just a waste of time. When they are dry I will update the diary with the precise weight. PS the same day I harvested my country rejected the decriminalization of cultivation of weed (referendum of popular origin). I want to say to my politicians: You will never stop me from doing what I love most. that said, see you soon for the upcoming updates😈

what do they say about different strains on the same RES, in the same pot??? welp, here goes nothing... Last time I saw this waterfarm I was still a teenager. Ran it in a closet with two 4ft flouro shop lights either side going vertically upward like the letter "A". Had two BIG ASS plants roughly 4ft tall in it side by side going STRONG! Healthy asf, huge ass healthy leaves, some 13 fingered. Flipped em and turned out BOTH were male... Been toying with the idea of doing it again... So what the hell... Here goes, 2 Girls 1 Cup or "pot"... One Herbies Godzilla Cookies Auto and one Fastbuds Wedding Glue Auto. Current setup: -36x36x60 tent -"1000w" led light (130w from the wall) -4in extraction fan/scrubber -20+ yr old GHE Waterfarm fitted with ice probe w/ controller and PLENTY of insulation around RES. -Multiple circulation fans -Taotronics humidifier Stay tuned to watch me fuck this up too 🤣 *Sow'd em both in organic peat pellets after a 24hr soak. Getting them acclimated to their new home early. Doing environment tests and dialing it in with the new to me ice probe, and the change to hydro versus soil plants that were in there. Will be more moisture in the air until a canopy covers my balls with the evaporation from the light. **lookey lookey, BOTH have come to life and are making way to the surface. Not long and they'll be in their new "cup". Last update on germination week as once they pop we start counting I suppose.

Day 58, 11th of November 2020: I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so she receives 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when she will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week.... Nice! She seems to be stoppee growing but i still think she will add a bit more. Pistils are coming all good nothing to say as a big news Day 58, Good job Sweet Seeds.. Fertilization happens every 2nd day with the mix and ratio above. Let's go ;)...

This week marks Week 18 of veg for the Pineapple Upside Down, and things are getting interesting. The plant is still pushing hard, stacking growth on all sides — more height, more volume, more density. She’s clearly in that phase where she’s comfortable, full of energy, and ready to take every bit of space you give her. But that’s exactly where the challenge begins. Right now, I still can’t move her into the bloom tent. There’s another plant finishing inside, so the space isn’t free yet. And that delay changes the whole strategy, because this girl is getting tall — fast. So the main question of the week is the same one I’ve been wrestling with for a while: Should I let her stretch and plan a SCROG, or should I top her to keep things low and contained? And to be honest, I’m still not ready to decide. I want to see her in her final environment before making that call. Transplanting into the bloom tent will change the lighting, the airflow, the VPD, the root-zone rhythm — and I don’t want to shape her structure blindly before she settles in. On top of that, she’ll need a short acclimation period once she’s transferred, so there’s no point in rushing structural training now. It could do more harm than good. So for the moment, the rule is simple: don’t touch anything. I’m keeping her on the same settings, same nutrition, same EC, same feeding schedule. She’s clearly thriving, and when a plant is this comfortable, the smartest move is not to interrupt her momentum. You can feel she’s building up internal energy — thicker stems, fuller leaves, faster node spacing. All of that will pay off in bloom, as long as I manage the height correctly once she moves to her final tent. This week is all about timing. Letting her grow, monitoring the stretch, and holding the decision until the very last moment. The more I watch her, the more I realize that patience here is probably the winning move. For now, she’s healthy, beautiful, vigorous, and still accelerating. No signs of stress, no burn, no deficiencies. Just a plant in full confidence. Next week should be decisive — hopefully the bloom tent will finally be free, and I’ll get a clearer picture of the strategy: SCROG or top. Until then, she keeps growing… and I keep observing.

We are getting bigger day by day. Maybe web to support this laddies wil be next good.

Dejo que pasen la transición lo más tranquilas posible 👍

This was another fun week. I did some defoliation to open up all the bud sites. That took a little longer than I was expecting. This is the largest plant I have ever grown, and I'm learning there are some differences in growing a big girl, the first being she takes longer to defoliate. The second is the amount of water she drinks. I'm watering her a full gallon ever other day and she is taking it all.

Greetings, fellow cultivators! We've officially crossed into the much-anticipated flowering stage with our beloved Cherry Cola Auto, and let me tell you, it's nothing short of a horticultural fiesta! The transformation over the past week has been nothing short of magical, with our once lush bush evolving into a budding beauty. Last week was a game-changer as I bid farewell to the training supports that have guided our Cherry Cola through her bushy phase. Now, she's free to express herself, growing wild and embracing her natural beauty. The transition from veg to flower has been seamless, and I'm witnessing a symphony of bud formation that's simply breathtaking. One of the marvels of autoflowers is their ability to veg and preflower simultaneously. It's like witnessing two acts of a play at the same time – the plant is reaching for the stars while also gearing up for the grand flowering spectacle. Cherry Cola's growth rate is nothing short of impressive, and I find myself in awe of this dynamic phase. With the shift into flowering, I've made some adjustments to our nutrient regimen. The Start Booster has gracefully bowed out, making way for two new players on the stage – P-Boost and Topbooster. P-Boost, a phosphorus booster, is a soluble wonder that not only enhances blooming but also contributes to improved water pH. It's like giving our Cherry Cola a backstage pass to a nutrient orchestra. Meet the New Stars: P-Boost and Topbooster: P-Boost, with its organic acids and phosphorus punch, is playing a vital role in stimulating protein, hormone, and vitamin production. It's a symphony conductor orchestrating the blooming processes. Meanwhile, Topbooster, the dynamic duo partner, is enhancing the flowering response, producing larger fruits with more fibers, resins, and sugars. It's like a magical potion for quality and flavor enhancement. Oh, did I mention that our Cherry Cola looks perfect to my eyes? She's a vision of green excellence, and I'm captivated by the flawless symmetry of her growth. Every day, she inches taller, embracing the flower formation with grace and poise. As we wrap up this Week 1 Flower report, I'm left in amazing of the beauty unfolding before us. Cherry Cola Auto, with her wild growth and budding allure, is a testament to the marvels of cultivation. Stay tuned, green enthusiasts, for the next thrilling installment as the floral overture continues!

Day29 feeding with 🍀Xpert nutrients🍀 Day30 I start some light défoliation and lst💪💪

Can’t wait to try another strain by short stuff seeds. Easy to grow and very high quality product if grown correctly

27.4.//Definitely those flying bugs were Fungus gnats. The soil was infected even I bought it in the store. So I had to use the insecticide which I'll attach as a photo; There is great natural replacement for this poison - Neem oil mixed with Hydrogen peroxide but unfortunately I couldn't find pure Neem oil in my country. 2.5. //plants are looking healthy and beautiful. Each plant has a fourth tier of leafs; Each plant is 5cm tall. 4.5.//finally I've got two more lights and now each plant is covered by 100w led light; Humidity began to rise as the plants also began to grow and humidity reached 62%;

Things are looking real good now. Blueberry is in full stretch and she’s gonna be a big girl. Grapefruit coming along real nice after early struggles. I am having some issues with light burn on my blueberry, but I think it’ll be alright. Absolute explosive growth from the blueberry monster this week. She’s up to 43 inch and I’m loving the spacing she has. As you can see, not very much lst going on here, but that’s how I like it. Grapefruit has been chugging along real nice. Just starting to flower now and she’s a bushy gal. I’m really looking forward to the flowering weeks ahead. I think these two are gonna be pretty.

The buds are very tight, but they didn't grow large colas so that means wasted time trimming cannabis, which I am not a huge fan of. I will not be growing this strain again, as I believe there are far better breeders and strains out there. I will continue to seek out the best breeders and strains until I am satisfied. I believe this Auto will yield in the 16-22 Ounce range dry, so I am not super disappointed, but I know I can do much better than this. After 6 days of drying, it took me around 7 hours to trim this auto, and she ended up yielding 16.72 Ounces. So she was definitely on the lower end of the spectrum from what I estimated on chop day, but still in the range. The buds are very tight, and smell like like cheese. I am only running one mature auto at a time now, so next up will be the Acid Dough from Ripper Seeds. I hope everyone has a great rest of your weekend, stay safe and Blaze On!!
